Steve and Sue Pung Family Fund

Longtime residents of Mt. Pleasant, Steve and Sue Pung believe in what the Community Foundation does to benefit local organizations and programs, and how they impact the community, both now and into the future. In 2015, they decided to establish a community impact fund, which make grants to charitable organizations and various programs that address the ever-changing needs of Isabella County. “What we might think of as a critical need today might not be the case five or ten years from now,” Steve said. “A community impact fund can stay relevant and have a significant meaning as needs change.” Steve and Sue believe that a community impact fund is well suited to the couple’s varied interests.
